Natsuko-Thanks so much for your reply!
I feel so alone having this food sensitivity. It really prevents me from enjoying restaurant food--everything is made with onions, garlic, or the powders. I can't even communicate to the servers or staff--they'll say," Well, try this--it doesn't have MUCH onion in it."
I have lived in FEAR of onions for many years, and that fear makes me hesitate to try your chopping-beforehand idea. It makes sense, though--perhaps some of the sensitizing ingredients are the volatiles--or maybe exposure to air changes the active chemical to something else. I wish I knew.
Garlic doesn't seem to be as deadly for me. I avoided it for years, too, but recently I have been adding very small quantities (sauteed) to large family-sized dishes of cooked food. By "small" I mean less than 1/4 of a clove. It really adds to the flavor, and doesn't bother me too much.
I just might try your idea with a tiny amount of onion and see what happens--very daring for me. Do you know what variety of onion would be the mildest?
